WhaTevaaaaaa Blue line System 2 Park

Friday

Matt and myself woke up at 4am a little earlier than we had to for our 7:30am flight but COD, Zombies got a few games. Round 8 now guys I know your impressed. But before this I made 'THE' perfect poached eggs if I must say so myself! Great way to start the day.
We arrived in Holland at around 10am and was picked up by Barbara from PROTEST BOARDWEAR we headed to the warehouse to check out the team behind the scenes and all that goes on. Very Impressive. I didn't realise the amount of stages that go into the designing of the clothing, a lot of hard work!
Lunch at the cable was very fulfilling, the Aussie Burger, should have been called the Aussie cow.
Amazing anyways.
We met up with CK Koester, Declan Clifford, Sim Bradley and Freddie Carter who were also out the for the TEVA Blue line System 2 Park Launch.
A late night shred session was a perfect way to finish the day and use up that last bit of energy I had.
SLEEEP




Saturday


Early.....ish start down at the lake to get sorted for the day. In the Qualifying round sI decided to have a ride in the event as I was there filming. So I picked my first challenge out of the hat and what are the chances I pick Freddie Carter one of the three english in the whole event sweet luck aye. Unfortunately Fred fell and I went through. I made the finals and ended up going for a 3rd/4th ride off with CK Koester another English lad. CK making the 3rd spot riding sick all round pressing and nice off axis 180 off the kicker.
The Demo was put as a competition to spice things up and make it better for the public to watch and follow the outcome.

1st Dirk Gideonse
2nd Ricky Lukassen
3rd Ck Koester
4th James Young


stoked considering I'm not quite at full strength :)

After the event you could say we all hit it hard and went straight to the bar and cruised through a reasonable amount before hitting the town of Utrecht.

From here on I'll write when I can remember the happenings ;)
